That talented and successful land
lawyer, Colonel ]. L. Bradford, is an
exception TO our bar generally in
recognizing the professional propriety
of discussing law and constitutional
questions in the newspapers instead
of recognizing the courts as having
exclusive jurisdiction of such ques-
tions.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within few years,
has astonished the world. 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and
the seVerest Lung Troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescription given By physi-
clans, as 1t does not dry up a Cough
and leave it in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when these diseases make their
appearance, will save doctor bills and
a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. II is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

The JONI oIlrIstna.. ltree gotten !


The joint Christmas tree gotten nr
BY Che different Protestant churches
of our town, which came of on Christ
mas eve evening, at Williams new
Opera House, was grand affair,
The tree was beautifully ornamcutcd
with silver lace, which, together with
Che many beautiful presents placed on
1t, gave It o handsome appearance.
The address By Geo. Il. Wells, ESQ.,,
The superintendent, was able and clio
quent, and was highly appreciated by
the large assemblage. The musicren-
dered on the occasion was splendid,
and the singing good. The only thing
that marred the occasion was the in
cessant noise kept up by the little
ones, which made il almost impossible
for those calling tho names on the
presents to be hoard, but as the affair
was gotten mp for the little fUlks, we
see no reason for complaint. Old
Santa Claus was well represented by
our genial friend, Capt. Thos. r. Rey-
nolds, who kept the children in a
high state of glee by his witicisms.
As a whole, the affair proved sue
cess, and every one, we believe, feels
satisfied; at least we hope SO.

The following from the Baton
Rouge Oapitolian AdVocate contains
more truth than poetry, and expresses
the sentiments Of nine-tenths of the
people of this State, and IS fully en-
dorsed by the Echo; One of our Red

column in serving afresh very old
chestnut; eve need Governor Of
the people" it sayetb. Verify, would
it have its readers believe that Louis
lana has been getting her Governors
among the throneless princes Of the
Old World, where the Bulgarians gel
their rulers /? Fad it been so would
thousands have called Gov. Wilt
"Alfred," as they used to do ON the
streets of New Orleans, or Gov. Nc
Emery by the plain name of "Sam, as
his old friends from the 0uachita and
elsewhere still call him People are
getting sick Of that cheap gush
They're not fools. Louisiana wants
just the sort of Governor she has now;
one into whose Office anybody who
wants to see HIM can walk right in
without having to send in his card on
a silver platter, and who does his level
best to promote every interest of the
people, and is besides plain sailing
straightforward Democrat.

he intends TO secure, if possible, the
passage by the present Congress of
his bill to provide an enabling act for
the admission into the Union, Of Da-

probably not be possible to get the
committee on Territories to report up.

have it substituted by the House fol
some other territorial admission bill
when the latter comes up for eonsid'
Grafton. He thinks the idea of admit
ting all at once would prevent opposi.
ton on party grounds, as they would
be equally divided, politically, and the
